Read MoreSomething you've been asking for is the ability to kick off the OneDirectory sync yourself.
Well - now you can! ๐
As you know, OneDirectory syncs user profiles from Azure Active Directory (via the Microsoft Graph).
It does this automatically, every 12 hours. โฐ
But when doing a clean up of your organization's user profile information you had to wait a while before seeing the changes in your employee directory.
Now, when you log in to your Vinewave account you can choose Sync on the left menu to see the OneDirectory sync status, and to kick off a sync manually.
Click the Sync Now button to update OneDirectory with the latest user profile information from your Azure AD tenant.
The sync progress will be displayed in real-time, and it typically only takes a minute or two to complete (a few minutes longer if you have thousands of employees).
Happy syncing ๐ง
Read MoreAlong with our recent subdomains update, the OneDirectory log in page was rebuilt from scratch.
Your new, branded company log in page shows your company name and logo, which you can change in the settings in the Vinewave Dashboard.
Here's an example of the new log in page from one of our partners:
We also did away with the old forms-based authentication option, which was used by some of our earliest OneDirectory customers but had fallen out of use in favor of Microsoft sign-in.
So you'll notice that you can now only log in to OneDirectory with your Microsoft account ๐
As before, all accounts that have been synced with your OneDirectory (and haven't been set to hidden) are able to sign in from your log in page.
Read MoreUntil now, your employees have been accessing your company's employee directory at app.onedirectory.com.
That worked out okay if you're using single sign-on, but if not, then your colleagues sometimes didn't know where to go to sign in.
And sometimes they'd end up starting a new OneDirectory trial by accident, instead of signing in to your company's existing OneDirectory.
That caused a bit of a mess ๐ฉ
So we wanted to give your employee directory a new home ๐ that's a little easier for your team to find.
Now you can access your OneDirectory at yoursubdomain.onedirectory.com ๐
Our team has already added your subdomain for you, and you may have noticed you're already being redirected from the old OneDirectory sign in URL to your company's new subdomain at yourcompanyname.onedirectory.com.
(If you want to change your company's OneDirectory subdomain, chat to our support team).
๐ก We suggest updating your old "app.onedirectory.com" bookmarks and intranet links to your new OneDirectory address, which you can find in the Vinewave Dashboard.
Something many of our customers have been asking for since we first launched OneDirectory is multi-tenancy capabilities. Specifically, the ability to link multiple Azure AD tenants together in OneDirectory and navigate between them.
Now it's possible to do just that with our new multi-tenancy feature, available on our Pro plan ๐
This new capability allows you to set up multiple OneDirectory instances in two ways:
๐ A single Azure AD tenant, segmented into various groups (by using OneDirectory's filtering rules), or
๐ By connecting completely separate Azure AD tenants.
Another benefit of this update is that you now have the ability to access more than one OneDirectory using the same Microsoft account.
Until now, if your Microsoft account happened to exist in more than one OneDirectory instance, you could only access the first one ๐ So that made it impossible to be included as a guest in someone's else's employee directory if you already had your own one.
Switching between OneDirectory instances is easy. Just click on your face on the top right, and choose the organization you'd like to switch to.
If you're an administrator of your organization's OneDirectory, you'll also be able to switch between tenants by clicking on your profile photo on the bottom left in the Vinewave Dashboard.
We released some improvements and fixes to SharePoint Vitals this month. Here's what's new:
